Operational Impact
The paint process continues to provide Steelcase customers with desirable coverage of their systems, but at much less expense to Steelcase as a result of eliminating wasteful overages in the paint application. | |
Steelcase continues to implement SEWSS throughout its manufacturing facilities and train its engineering and quality professionals in statistical process control techniques, as well as higher-end statistical methodologies. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The average paint millage on one powder coat line was reduced by 40%. | |
Material savings of more than 3 times the total investment in all of the SEWSS software, training, and implementation services purchased. | |
